I heard on the news this morning that a woman is suing Monash after one of the staff accidently dropped her nine embryos on the floor. Seven of them died and the remaining two were implanted but didn't survive.
What is the world coming to when we are no longer able to allow any margin for human error? Sure, it would undoubtedly have been devastating for the woman concerned, but is suing going to make it better for her? Is money going to fix the emptiness in her heart?
Thirty years ago IVF would not have even been an option for her. We are incredibly lucky to live in a time and a country where this sort of medical technology is available. This expectation that humans have to pay every time a mistake occurs is just unreasonable. It's not going to heal her hurt.
I wish people understood that. People don't understand other people, all we understand is money. This is a mad society.
